Hannah Waddingham channelled old Hollywood glamour at the New York City premiere of her new Amazon Prime series Ride or Die. The 51-year-old actress wore a long bodycon black square neck dress, complemented by her short blonde hair with a sweeping side part and fluffy big curls that framed her face.
Premiere Look and Accessories
Hannah completed the timeless look with tall pointed-toe heels and a pair of large gold earrings. She attended the premiere to promote her new film, a two-hander starring Waddingham and Hidden Figures star Octavia Spencer.
Film Plot and Themes
The film focuses on best friends of 20 years, Judith Burton (Waddingham) and Debbie Claybourne (Octavia Spencer), who go on the run when it is revealed that one of them is an international assassin being forced to retire after turning 50 and becoming a "woman of a certain age."
The action-comedy has sparked conversations about aging. Octavia Spencer said: "As a woman of a certain age, I know I have life experiences that sort of color the stage of life that I'm in and the confidence that we carry. We just carry ourselves in a different way. We know that we're great at what we do." She added: "We know that we're still vital and viable, and redefining that in this show is exciting because sometimes we forget." Hannah added: "You just don't ever hear 'men of a certain age.' Ever. Not once, ever."
Recent Public Appearance and Relationship
This appearance comes days after Hannah attended Wimbledon with her new boyfriend, spinal surgeon Nick Beresford-Cleary. Speaking to Women's Health in May, Hannah discussed being single for eight years after her relationship with Italian businessman Gianluca Cugnetto, with whom she shares a 10-year-old daughter, Kitty.
"It's taken me eight years," she said about entering a new relationship. "I didn't really have the space mentally or emotionally for that. I've hunkered down and focused on my girl and me. [But] now I'm ready to stick my head above the parapet a bit more." When asked if he was a "very good looking parapet," Hannah laughed and replied, "It is. And it's really lovely too, obviously, my relationship. But the best thing about it is, firstly, being happy and strong in myself."
Makeup and Styling
Hannah wore glowy makeup with a pink lip and thick lashes, and dark sunglasses, further enhancing the vintage aesthetic.
